Yes, and Alfred Nobel created the Nobel prizes so that people would forget that he also invented dynamite, because he felt bad about it being used to blow people up.
War is really entertaining. The threat of death to those involved heightens dramatic tension. I mean, you know, in entertainment media like movies and video games.
I think the public enjoys a good war. I think we should pick a new third-world country to devastate every decade. Think of the ratings bumps!
North Korea should be next!
Asia hasn't had a good war in a while. I'd tune in to the reality show.
We'd have to start with low-key espionage ops at first. Then, when the public is expecting a spy show, change it up: mobilize the military and embed with a medical unit. Now it's M.A.S.H. 2.0. Finally, do what we did in Japan: when the public's tired, make sure you have a finale they'll talk about for decades.
Approval ratings, the markets, and media sales shoot through the roof. Economically-strategic wars are simply the next stop for the USA.
Fighting North Korea would be a terrible idea because they have way too many artillery pipes pointed at South Korean cities. We want to pick on people who can't hurt us while we drop thousands of tons of explosives on them from the skies.
I see a good reason to vote for Romney. If Obama won't cooperate (like, ya know he said he was gonna) then why should the Republicans? Why should they and they alone give ground?
That is complete and utter bullshit. Obama has attempted to cooperate with Republicans, they just refuse to reciprocate.
It's like the religious right. If they don't get everything they ask for, it's persecution. If anyone wants anything else, they're infringing on freedom of religion.
Jack, name one place the Republicans have "given ground" to compromise with Obama or the Democratic party. There whole schtick these days is being the party of no, and fighting absolutely everything Obama has suggested.
And even if what you were proposing was true, it would still be a shitty reason to vote for Romney. He is straight up saying vote for me or my party will throw a temper tantrum that will send us into a second depression. It's essentially extortion.

Oh my fucking God, Jack. Try reading a news source once in awhile. FOX doesn't count.
Jesus Christ. Dude. If you're not trolling, then seriously: read once in awhile.

I pick bonobos. They typically settle their differences by having sex instead of by fighting. Yay Planet of the Apes.

How's Kenya? Can we get a SEAL team and a TV crew with a Steadicam to Kenya this January? Does that work for you guys?
